the dumbest play call

The dumbest play call (I assume it was called and not an audible at the line) during the Carolina give-away loss was after McKensie got the INT and the offense was driving the ball into Carolina territory, then got into a 3rd n 8 situation in borderline field goal range and Brees tries a deep pass to Patten who was in man2man coverage. The pass wasn`t even close, Patten was covered like a wet blanket. A slant, a screen, a draw, anything that would have either picked up a 1st down or gotten 5+ more crucial yards could have been a back breaker for Carolina, but no, Brees tries a hail-mary to limp leg Patten that fails and sets up a 53 yard field goal attempt by the NFL`s worst field goal kicker. I thought it was the bonehead play call of the day.

what do you think was the bonehead play call of the day?

(and No, Payton would not be a genius if it had worked. If it had worked it would have been a dumb call that worked)
